Erling Haaland has been told Mohamed Salah will score more goals this season because he's less reliant on chances being created for him.

That's the verdict from ex-Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce, who believes the Liverpool great will top the Premier League goal charts for a second season running.

The 33-year-old captured his fourth Golden Boot overall last season after his 29-goal campaign that helped lead the Reds to the Premier League title in Arne Slot's first season in charge.

Only Thierry Henry has won as many Golden Boots as Salah.

A fifth triumph this season would spell another record the Egyptian has broken in his illustrious tenure in Merseyside.

Salah's victory last season broke Haaland's two-year dominance of the award as the Norwegian, who still scored 22 goals in the league, missed almost a month of action due to an ankle injury.

Both players got off to a good start on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season, with Salah netting Liverpool's last goal in their 4-2 home win over Bournemouth, while Haaland was one of four players to net a brace in the top flight as City romped to a 4-0 win away at Wolves.

Speaking to BestBettingSites, Pearce cited Salah's durability and his lack of reliance on team-mates creating for him as to why he thinks he'll pip Haaland this season.

He plays all the games.

"There doesn't seem to be any rotation with Mo Salah either.

But it will be a great title race." After their opening victory against the Cherries, Slot's men face their first big test of the season when they travel to Newcastle on Monday night.
